Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), also referred to as recurrent miscarriage or habitual abortion, is historically defined as 3 consecutive pregnancy losses prior to 20 weeks from the last menstrual period.
miscarriage (n.) 1580s, "mistake, error, a going wrong;" 1610s, "misbehavior, wrong or perverse course of conduct;" see miscarry + -age. In pathology, the meaning "untimely delivery" is from 1660s, on the notion of "fail to reach the intended result." Miscarriage of justice is from 1875, from the "going wrong" sense.
•Defined as two or more failed pregnancies. •Includes loss of pregnancies that were confirmed by a pregnancy test or ultrasound. •Treatment will depend on the cause—careful monitoring and emotional support often helps. •Involves recurrent pregnancy loss program, fertility center.

Commonly reported CPT codes for miscarriages include: 59812, treatment of incomplete abortion, any trimester. 59820, treatment of missed abortion, completed surgically; first trimester.
According to ACOG fetal demise prior to 20 weeks 0 days is coded with E/M code + 59414 (delivery of placenta) if done. Or if a non-surgical abortion is induced by injection you would use 59850, 59851 or 59852.
ICD-10-CM Code for Missed abortion O02. 1.
With the goal of determining the predictive value of using ICD-9 code “632 ” to accurately identify cases of stable EPF, we aimed to determine the PPV of ICD-9 code “632” in correctly identifying patients who presented with missed abortion or retained products of conception following miscarriage. We queried the EMR over the same 12 months to identify patients whose encounters were labeled with ICD-9 code “632.” For this portion of the analysis, the limited number of charts labeled with ICD-9 code “632” prompted us to review 12 months of patient encounters instead of the random two-month sample that was used to evaluate the ICD-9 code’s sensitivity and specificity. We reviewed these records to determine which patients had actual cases of stable EPF, as well as which pregnancy-related ICD-9 codes were used to code these patient visits. The PPV of ICD-9 code 632 for capturing cases of stable miscarriage or retained products was then calculated.
The ICD-9 code “632 ” for missed abortion has a low sensitivity for identifying women with stable EPF, which limits its use in benchmarking the number of cases when using administrative databases. Another approach to identifying missed abortion using ICD-9 codes is therefore needed. However, the high specificity and moderately high PPV of ICD-9 code “632” for identifying women presenting to the ED with missed abortion illustrate its utility in identifying true cases of stable miscarriage, so that subsequent interventions and complications can be examined in future epidemiologic studies.
7 We defined missed abortion as pregnancy failure in patients with a previously identified pregnancy, a positive pregnancy test and a closed cervical os on bimanual exam, with the absence of fetal cardiac activity on ultrasound exam at six weeks or greater gestational age. 8 This definition of missed abortion diverges slightly from the textbook definition of missed abortion, which originated prior to ultrasound diagnosis and was defined as fetal demise recognized eight weeks prior without passage of products of conception, and where the use of the word ‘missed’ referred to an abnormal pregnancy where the uterus had missed that the intrauterine contents needed to be expelled. 3,7 In the absence of ultrasound, the only means of diagnosis was a discrepancy between uterine size and menstrual cycles. 7 With the current use of ultrasonographic parameters in diagnosing pregnancy failure, the textbook definition with recognized pregnancy failure eight weeks earlier is not commonly fulfilled, and ED visits are nevertheless coded as missed abortion with ICD-9 codes following a single visit. 9 Women with retained products of conception following a previously identified miscarriage were also included in our cohort.
ICD-9 code “632” has low sensitivity for identifying stable EPF, but its high specificity and moderately high PPV are valuable for studying cases of stable EPF in epidemiologic studies using administrative data.
6 Estimated gestational age of pregnancy was determined by either an ultrasound evaluation conducted by an emergency medicine resident or attending physician at patient bedside, or by formal ultrasound completed by an ultrasound technologist with interpretation by a radiologist, where crown-rump length was correlated with gestational age based on averages of fetal size by weeks.
The 41.9% sensitivity we found for ICD-9 code “632 ” in accurately identifying cases of stable EPF begs the question as to why the sensitivity was found to be so low. Table 3 illustrates that most cases where missed abortions were classified under ICD-9 codes other than “632” were coded with either “640.93” (unspecified hemorrhage in early pregnancy, antepartum condition or complication) or “640.03” (threatened abortion). One commonality among these diagnosis codes is that they do not require the care provider to commit to deeming a pregnancy non-viable. This is perhaps owing to either a knowledge gap that ED providers may have in parameters for diagnosing EPF, especially following a single ultrasound study, or potentially an avoidance of making an EPF diagnosis owing to a perceived medical-legal risk of deeming a pregnancy failed if a provider is unsure of his or her abilities to do so. A third possibility is that emergency providers may leave the diagnosis of EPF to their obstetrician gynecologist consultants and may therefore document in a way that is non-committal with regards to the viability of the pregnancy. As this study was not designed to answer these questions, we can only postulate that these factors may have played a role in our findings, but more studies are needed to explore these possibilities.
ICD-9, International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision *Non-viable pregnancy or retained products of conception with closed cervix.
Our goal was to assess whether ICD-9 code "632 " for missed abortion has high sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV) in identifying patients in the emergency department (ED) with cases of stable early pregnancy failure (EPF). We studied females ages 13-50 years presenting to the ED of an urban academic medical center. We approached our analysis from two perspectives, evaluating both the sensitivity and PPV of ICD-9 code "632 " in identifying patients with stable EPF. All patients with chief complaints "pregnant and bleeding" or "pregnant and cramping" over a 12-month period were identified. We randomly reviewed two months of patient visits and calculated the sensitivity of ICD-9 code "632" for true cases of stable miscarriage. To establish the PPV of ICD-9 code "632" for capturing missed abortions, we identified patients whose visits from the same time period were assigned ICD-9 code "632," and identified those with actual cases of stable EPF. We reviewed 310 patient records (17.6% of 1,762 sampled). Thirteen of 31 patient records assigned ICD-9 code for missed abortion correctly identified cases of stable EPF (sensitivity=41.9%), and 140 of the 142 patients without EPF were not assigned the ICD-9 code "632" (specificity=98.6%). Of the 52 eligible patients identified by ICD-9 code "632," 39 cases met the criteria for stable EPF (PPV=75.0%). ICD-9 code "632" has low sensitivity for identifying stable EPF, but its high specificity and moderately high PPV are valuable for studying cases of stable EPF in epidemiologic studies using administrative data.
... Missed abortion is a common and distressing complication of early pregnancy , and is defined as a pregnancy that no longer develops in which the cervical os remains closed [17]. Many etiologies contribute to missed abortion, including genetic factors, endocrine factors, and anatomical factors. ...
code from category Z3A, Weeks of gestation, to identify the specific week of the pregnancy, if known. A miscarriage is the loss of pregnancy from natural causes before the 20th week of pregnancy. Most miscarriages occur very early in the pregnancy, often before a woman even knows she is pregnant.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM O03.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Loss of the products of conception from the uterus before the fetus is viable; spontaneous abortion.
Trimesters are counted from the first day of the last menstrual period. They are defined as follows: 1st trimester- less than 14 weeks 0 days. 2nd trimester- 14 weeks 0 days to less than 28 weeks 0 days. 3rd trimester- 28 weeks 0 days until delivery. Type 1 Excludes. supervision of normal pregnancy ( Z34.-)
Although vaginal bleeding is a common symptom of miscarriage, many women have spotting early in their pregnancy but do not miscarry.
In most cases, there is nothing you can do to prevent a miscarriage .factors that may contribute to miscarriage include. a genetic problem with the fetus. This is the most common cause in the first trimester. problems with the uterus or cervix. These contribute in the second trimester. polycystic ovary syndrome.
According to ICD-9-CM definition, the timeframe used for missed abortion is 22 weeks while ACOG defines as 20 weeks. Beyond this period of time, code 656.43 is used for missed delivery, with diagnosis code: 632.
Spontaneous Abortion (Miscarriage) A spontaneous abortion that is complete (any trimester) and the physician manages the patient medically, without any surgical intervention is termed as complete abortion. In other words, if POC are expelled without surgical or medical intervention. It is also called miscarriage.
Diagnosis code for this case is 634 but procedure reported (depends on gestational age)with diagnosis code 634.X2. In such case, the physician should report the appropriate level of evaluation and management code, dependent on the place where the patient is seen. Code 99201 to 99233 are appropriate for such cases.
The provider documents the POC "have not been expelled" or "incompletely expelled" from the uterus. Code 59812 is used to report the dilation and curettage for the surgical management of an incomplete abortion. Code 59812 is not appropriate, if the patient is septic and is diagnosed as experiencing an incomplete abortion.
Missed Abortion. A missed abortion refers to the prolonged retention of a fetus that died in the first half of pregnancy. In other words, an empty gestational sac, blighted ovum or a fetus or fetal pole with a heartbeat prior to completion of 20 weeks 0 days gestation, is termed as missed abortion.
The premature expulsion of the products of conception from the uterus is known as Abortion. It can be embryo or a non-viable fetus. In simple words, the coding or labeling of the medical report named as spontaneous abortion may be somewhat problematic. The CPT codes properly use the medical term abortion. For abortion, another term “interrupted ...
For abortion, another term “interrupted pregnancy” is often used. It refers to a pregnancy that did not proceed to full term. A full-term pregnancy is normally between 38 and 42 weeks of gestation. There are numerous ways to classify an interrupted pregnancy. It can be an abortion or it can be a miscarriage.
